Installing the filter cartridge (optional)

The Krups Aqua Filter System F088 cartridge improves the taste of your water. It is made of an anti-scale substance like activated carbon, which reduces chlorine, impurities, lead, copper, pesticides, etc. present in water (Reduction of the carbonate hardness of up to 75%*, chlorine up to 85%*, lead up to 90%*, copper up to 95%*, aluminium up to 67%*). Minerals and trace elements are conserved.

* Measures provided by the manufacturer

Remove the filter cartridge and the cartridge fitting accessory from the packaging and assemble the cartridge fitting accessory as illustrated.
Set the month when the cartridge is fitted (position 1 on the illustration, left side figure in the opening) by turning the grey ring located on the upper end of the filter. The month that the filter is to be replaced is indicated on the right side in the opening (position 2 on the illustration).
Attach the cartridge fitting accessory to the filter cartridge as shown in the illustration.
Screw the filter cartridge into the screw thread at the bottom of the water tank: Place the filter cartridge into the thread. Screw in the cartridge. Remove the cartridge fitting accessory from the filter cartridge. Note: the filter cartridge has to be replaced approximately every 50 litres of water or at least every 2 months. Your machine tells you how many days or litres before you need to change the cartridge: go to the "Product information/Filter" menu, then select "Replacement".

Use

Respecting the instructions below will ensure good results. Several tests will probably be required to find the mix and roasting of the coffee beans to your taste.

The quality of the water used is also a factor in the taste of your coffee. Ensure that the water is fresh from the tap, that it is cold and that it does not smell of chlorine.

Do not use stagnant water.

Your appliance is only designed to use coffee beans. When preparing your first coffee, after several days without using the machine or after carrying out maintenance, a little steam or hot water will come out of the steam nozzle. Keep at a safe distance from the steam nozzle and place a cup underneath the outlets to avoid any risk of burns or splashes with the steam or hot water. The main commands are described below:

The coffee outlet

The height of the coffee outlet is adjustable. Raise it to fit or remove taller cups more easily.

The steam nozzle

The steam nozzle can be moved to the left or right and tilted forward slightly, which allows the cup underneath to be removed more easily.

The drip tray

This tray collects the water used by the appliance or spilled during preparation. The machine warns against this by means of a mechanical float system (22) when the tray needs to be emptied.

Switching on the appliance

Press the ON/OFF button (1).
A welcome message is displayed on the screen, then another warning that the appliance is preheating. Next a question will appear on the screen asking if the appliance needs to be rinsed or not.	Note: If the machine has not been used for several days, it must be rinsed.
If required, rinse it or validate the "No" proposition by pressing "OK". The screen then displays the drink selection menu. If you want to prepare an espresso or a coffee, read the instructions. To prepare a cappuccino.

Preparation of an espresso or a coffee

Important information on the appliance and instructions

You will find in this manual all of the important information concerning the preparation, use and maintenance of your automatic espresso/coffee maker. Important safety guidelines are also included.

Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time and keep them: Krups may not be held responsible for any incorrect use.

Your Automatic Espresseria

Espresso or lungo, ristretto or cappuccino, your automatic espresso/coffee maker has been designed to allow you to taste the same coffee at home as in a coffee bar at any time of the day. With its Thermoblock System, 15 bar pump and using only freshly ground coffee, your Automatic Espresseria will allow you to make a full flavoured drink, topped with a deliciously thick, golden froth, a product that comes from the natural oil of the coffee beans. Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than a normal, filter coffee. In spite of its stronger taste, stronger initially and longer lasting, espresso coffee in fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee (approximately 20 mg less per cup). This is due to the shorter percolation.

With its simplicity of use, the visibility of its tank/holder and its automatic cleaning and descaling programmes, your Automatic Espresseria will prove very easy to use.

Safety guidelines

These safety guidelines are intended to protect you and other persons and the appliance. They must therefore be respected.

Conditions of use

• The appliance, the power cord and the mains plug must not be brought into contact with humidity or liquids. Any contact of the conductive parts of the appliance with humidity or water may lead to fatal injuries due to the presence of electricity! This appliance must only be used indoors in dry areas.
• In the case of a change in the ambient temperature, from cold to hot, wait for a few hours before using your machine so that it is not damaged by condensation.
• Avoid leaving the appliance in direct sunlight, exposed to heat, cold, frost or humidity.
• Do not place the appliance on a hot surface such as a hob or close to a naked flame, in order to avoid any risks of fire!

Electrical power supply

Failing to respect these guidelines may lead to fatal injuries due to electricity!

• Check that the supply voltage marked on the rating plate of the appliance is the same as that of your electrical supply. Only connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. Voltage: 220-240V~/50 Hz.
• Ensure that the mains socket is easily accessible so that the appliance may be unplugged easily in the event of any failure or a thunderstorm for example. For the safety of the appliance, unplug it from the socket during thunderstorms. Do not pull the power cord but the plug itself to unplug it
• Unplug it from the mains socket immediately if any operational failure occurs or if there is a problem with the percolation. Unplug the appliance when it is not to be used for a long period.
• Do not use the appliance if the power cord is damaged. Using a damaged power cord or having your appliance repaired incorrectly means that there is a risk of electrical shock, fire or shortcircuit. Furthermore, the guarantee on the appliance will be invalidated in such conditions. The power cord must be replaced by a Krups' Approved AfterSales Service Centre.
• Do not let the power cord dangle over the edge of a table or a work top. Do not leave the power cord close to or in contact with the hot parts of the appliance.
• We do not recommend the use of extensions or multi-adapter plugs.
• Any incorrect connection invalidates the guarantee.

The appliance

• Do not pour water into the coffee bean holder and/or under the maintenance cover, as this may cause overflows.
• Except for cleaning and descaling as described in the procedures in the instructions for the appliance, all work on the appliance must be carried out by a KRUPS' Approved After-Sales Service Centre.
• For your safety, only use KRUPS approved accessories and consumables for your appliance.
• Unplug the appliance when leaving the room or the home for prolonged periods, as in the event of a failure the appliance may overheat and cause a fire.
• 
  Do not open the appliance as there is a high risk of fatal injury due to electricity! Any unauthorised opening of the appliance invalidates the guarantee. Do not use the appliance if it is not operating correctly, if it has been dropped, if it is leaking or if it has been damaged. In this case, we recommend having the appliance checked by a KRUPS' Approved After-Sales Service Centre (see list in the KRUPS service handbook).
• For safety and approval (CE) reasons, any transformation or modification of the appliance, carried out by an individual, is prohibited as only tested appliances have been approved and the manufacturer is absolved of all responsibility in the event of damage.

Use and maintenance

• In the event of a problem or incorrect operation, check the appliance and try to resolve the problem (see chapter Troubleshooting) or have the appliance repaired if the problem persists. When the appliance cannot operate without risk of danger, unplug it from the mains socket.
• Always refer to the instructions in this manual for the descaling of the appliance. Unplug from the socket before any cleaning or maintenance operation.
• In the case of descaling, cleaning or regular maintenance not being carried out or if there is a foreign particle in the grinder, this is not covered by the product guarantee (see separate document).
